The role of protein kinase C and intracellular Ca2+ on
amphetamine-mediated dopamine release through the norepinephrine
plasmalemmal transporter in undifferentiated PC12 cells was
investigated. The selective protein kinase C inhibitor
chelerythrine completely inhibited endogenous dopamine release elicited
by 1 µM amphetamine. Direct activation of protein kinase C increased
dopamine release in a Ca2+-insensitive,
imipramine-sensitive manner and the release was not additive with
amphetamine. Exocytosis was not involved since these events were not
altered by either deletion of extracellular Ca2+ or
reserpine pretreatment. Down-regulation of protein kinase C activity by
long-term phorbol ester treatment resulted in a dramatic decrease in
amphetamine-mediated dopamine release with no apparent effect on
[3H]dopamine uptake. To more completely examine a role
for Ca2+, intracellular Ca2+ was chelated in
the cells. Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ considerably
decreased dopamine release in response to 1 µM amphetamine compared
with vehicle-treated cells, but had no effect on the [3H]dopamine uptake. Thus, our results suggest that
amphetamine-mediated dopamine release through the plasmalemmal
norepinephrine transporter is highly dependent on protein kinase C
activity and intracellular but not extracellular Ca2+.
Furthermore, protein kinase C and intracellular Ca2+ appear
to regulate [3H]dopamine inward transport and
amphetamine-mediated outward transport of dopamine independently in
PC12 cells.
